BE-2 or not?

This image appeared during research for a topic I am teaching, and I’m a bit confused.

It looks a bit BE-2 but hasn’t got the vertical exhaust pipes. Different engine? Cockpit also looks wrong to me……

Any ideas?

Yes, I would agree.

So this pretty conclusively resolves the issue

To B.E. or Not to B.E., that was the question,
and D.H.6 seems to B.E. the answer

The BE2 has seperate cockpits for each occupant, this however bears more resemblance to the combined cockpit designs of the Avro Type E – 500 series, but the curved rear fuselage decking does not appear in those designs?
